1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The influenza A polymerase is a heterotrimer which transcribes viral mRNAs and replicates the viral genome. To initiate synthesis of mRNA, the polymerase binds a host pre-mRNA and cleaves a short primer downstream of the 5' end cap structure. The N-terminal domain of PA has been demonstrated to have endonuclease activity in vitro. Here we sought to better understand the biochemical nature of the PA endonuclease by developing an improved assay using full-length PA protein. This full-length protein is active against both RNA and DNA in a cap-independent manner and can use several different divalent cations as cofactors, which affects the secondary structure of the full-length PA. Our in vitro assay was also able to demonstrate the minimal substrate size and sequence selectivity of the PA protein, which is crucial information for inhibitor design. Finally, we confirmed the observed endonuclease activity of the full-length PA with a FRET-based assay.
